Canadian Muslim student opens up and challenges Ann Coulter at a stop in a tour titled "Political Correctness, Media Bias and Freedom of Speech." organized by the International Free Press Society, a group whose website sets up Islam as the preeminent threat to democracy in the Western world.

Coulter made the comment Monday night after she received an email about the limits of free speech in Canada from the provost of the University of Ottawa, where she appears Tuesday.

The private email, which was leaked to conservative news organizations, noted that Canada's Charter of Rights meant that "promoting hatred against any identifiable group would not only be considered inappropriate, but could in fact lead to criminal charges."

"I was the victim of a hate crime and plan to file a complaint with the Human Rights Commission," Coulter said Monday.
